how can I explain the way I let it all just slide?
eight straight weeks of drink can put a fever in your mind
but it's already been said, there's better ways to fill your time
they said go west to Colorado where your sorrow only lasts for a while
out to rocky Colorado, where the mountains grow for miles and miles
but there's a phrase you should remember, more than once I've heard it said
that your loneliness can bind you, fill your stomach full of lead
in the crystal careless morning, she will find you even then
so it's off to Colorado, gonna find a way to shrink my head
off to Whiskey, Colorado, I'm turnin' all my blue blood red
'cause you do what you have to, to reconcile the news
that there's no freedom or faith in having nothing there to lose
and even costless embrace is still a cause for a despute
but then you already knew that, didn't you?
but you're a different story with affections made of ice
they can chill you in the evening, just to melt off in the light
say even I with all my pining will just move along in time
so you're off to Colorado, where that opium sun always shines
out in Codeine, Colorado they got the empty space to fill up your mind
so go and do what you have to to get a better view
go ahead and tie yourself down to a softer shade of blue
but so much red wine and pills, they can cut you in two
but then you already knew that, didn't you?
so how can I explain the way I need you to stay here?
I've been spinning myself stuck over that same old selfish fear
that your empty pocket love, it don't hold out another year
'til I get back to Colorado, and that crystal Colorado mountain air
there's a girl in Colorado, she got Colorado flowers in her hair
